CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATION AND THE MODERN WORLD

by DAO - last update: Sep 4, 2006

CITY ON THE MOVE

THE ANCIENT
Amman is a crazy place of nearly crashing cars, colourful crowds of people and a sprawling dusty landscape. It’s all here and it is one of the few places in the world where a taxi is good value for money and the only practical way around. Amman is the gateway to all of the fabulous Kingdom of Jordan.

 Thanks for these tips-especially the car-hire. We will be visiting Jordan in Feb/March 2010 so I am collecting tips.

 Finally, the web link for Dallah works! Thanks again. BTW...the Crowne Plaza was not bombed in 2005. It was Days Inn along with the other two I mentioned previously.
